Chapter 773 Shenmen Sect's Conditions
It is not easy for Lin Chen to show up at the Su's house.
Although Su Ruoxun helped Lin Chen in the battle of Huadu, it has let the world know that they have a special relationship and are good friends.
But if Lin Chen sets foot in the Su's house, it will have another meaning, which is not good after all.
It is not that he is worried about the rumors about Su Ruoxun, but he is afraid that Su Ruoxi will know and her heart will not be able to bear it. It will be bad if she does something impulsively.
So although they are traveling together on the road, Lin Chen usually disguises himself and leaves no traces.
After arriving at the Su's territory, they simply separated and will enter the Su's house for other reasons, trying not to be discovered.
Su Ruoxun wanted to complain several times, thinking that Lin Chen did not need to do this, why sneak around, as if there was something shameful.
But Lin Chen insisted, so she could only let Lin Chen be happy.
After separating from Lin Chen, Su Ruoxun returned to the Su's house by herself.
The Su family is an extremely powerful family that has been passed down for more than ten thousand years. It has a very deep foundation and its sphere of influence spans several top states. Compared with the giant forces, it is only a few points behind and has not been able to completely occupy a super state.
The Su family is already strong, and now it is about to marry the Shenmen Sect, and its prestige is even greater.
I believe that when the time comes, the strong combination will create an extremely terrifying force, which will be at the forefront among the giant forces!
The ancestral land of the Su family is located in a prosperous city. The mansion is huge and the buildings inside are all ancient and antique, which shows the foundation and taste, which is absolutely not comparable to ordinary aristocratic families.
Su Ruoxun's return to the Su family naturally attracted attention. Soon the news was passed back, and almost all the senior members of the family knew about it.
Before Su Ruoxun went to see his parents, the order of the elders' council of the family came, asking Su Ruoxun to go to the meeting room quickly.
Su Ruoxun snorted lightly, and there was nothing to say, so he walked over with his head held high.
In the meeting room of the old house of the Su family, except for the elders who were in seclusion, almost all the senior members of the Su family had arrived.
Obviously, they were discussing something, not just for Su Ruoxun.
When Su Ruoxun arrived, she noticed that the atmosphere of the meeting was a bit strange, and she couldn't help but frown.
"Ruoxun pays homage to the head of the family, all the elders, and the supreme elders", Su Ruoxun bowed respectfully, then bowed again to Su Mang, smiling, "Grandpa, I'm back."
"Well, it's good to be back. You've worked hard all the way. If you're tired, go and rest first", Su Mang laughed.
What you said...
Didn't the elders ask her to come?
Su Ruoxun was so smart that she immediately understood that the discussion today seemed to be unfriendly to her, and she snorted in her heart.
"Su Mang, what are you talking about? Since Ruoxun is back, she should report to us immediately. You should rest and wait until it's over!" An elder shouted.
His name is Su Qiu, the third elder of the Su family, who has the realm of half-step to ask the gods!
This realm was indeed very terrifying in the past, suppressing one side, but now that the brilliant era has arrived, the younger generation is brave and diligent, and there are constantly geniuses who break through the half-step to ask the gods, so Su Qiu's strength is not so good.
At least Su Ruoxun will not lose to him too much.
"The third elder is right. If you have any questions, please let the elder know clearly," Su Ruoxun said.
Su Qiu snorted, his face was not very good. There was nothing wrong with what Su Ruoxun said, but his tone was a little cold and hard, and there was no respect at all.
"Ruoxun, your attitude, are you dissatisfied with the elders?" Su Qiu snorted coldly.
"Okay, what are you talking about, Su Qiu, if you don't want to talk, you can just shut up!" It was another old man who shouted.
It's the great elder, Su Heng, the third level of the questioning god realm!
Even if the brilliant era has arrived, the supreme elder will not appear in the world normally, so
the authority of the great elder is still huge.
Under normal circumstances, it is second only to the head of the family.
Su Qiu's face changed, and he could only snort and said nothing more.
"Xun'er, please sit down first. I hope you can think clearly before answering the following questions," Su Heng said slowly.
Su Ruoxun sat down, prepared in her heart.
Although Su Qiu had always been at odds with her family, his attitude just now was probably related to the battle in Huadu.
Su Ruoxun knew that her appearance was tantamount to indirectly dragging the Su family into the water. It was indeed impulsive and lacked consideration.
As a member of the Su family, she should not be so reckless. It is common sense that the family would blame her.
Su Ruoxun had nothing to explain about this. She just went to help her friend, that's all, and she didn't regret it.
So if there is any punishment, just come, she is ready.
"Xun'er, you were a little irrational about the Qunfang Pavilion. Your behavior has put the Su family in danger," Su Heng said.
Sure enough.
Su Ruoxun just listened and didn't speak.
Then, several elders and uncles also spoke up, expounding on the pros and cons, telling Su Ruoxun how big a mistake she was making, and how much uncertainty and danger she brought to the family!
They were almost ready to make Su Ruoxun the sinner of the family.
"Everyone, Xun'er's case was indeed ill-considered, but it's not as exaggerated as you said, isn't it a bit too alarmist?" Su Mang looked unhappy.
He knew what these people meant, and he was angry and helpless.
"Whether it's alarmist or not is not up to you or me. There are so many interests involved behind the Qunfang Pavilion, and I don't know how many terrifying beings want to destroy it. Why should my Su family wade into this muddy water?" Su Qiu snorted coldly.
"Uncles and elders, I already know what the clan means. There is no need to reiterate again and again. Just make it clear what punishment you want to give me," Su Ruoxun shouted softly.
She has been walking outside and is not a flower in a greenhouse. Such a scene does not scare her.
Everyone looked at each other, and many people were a little unhappy, but Su Ruoxun had said it for this reason, and there was really no need to repeat the bad impact this incident had on the Su family.
Let’s get straight to the point.
"Xun'er, I know you are resentful of our attitude, but do you know that we don't want to blame you, but the Su family is in a precarious situation now and can no longer withstand many storms." Su Heng sighed.
Su Ruoxun's expression changed slightly. When did the Su family reach such a situation?
"Xun'er, you are still young, and you still don't understand many things comprehensively. In fact, the Su family's sphere of influence has been shrinking over the years, especially after the arrival of the brilliant world, this situation has intensified."
"The Su family is actually in decline. It's just that the branches are so luxuriant that it can't be seen for the time being. But if this trend continues, more and more problems will be exposed. At that time, I'm afraid the building will collapse!" Su Qiu sighed. .
Everyone present looked a bit embarrassed.
"Grandpa," Su Ruoxun looked at Su Mang.
Su Mang sighed and nodded.
"Otherwise, why do you think our Su family would use Ruoxi and Haitang's marriage to unite with the Shenmen Sect?" Su Qiu snorted coldly.
The Su family is declining little by little, whether it's due to internal management problems, the fact that the younger generation no longer has the talent except for the two sisters, or the hostile forces are getting stronger and stronger.
In short, these problems cannot be solved at all for the time being, at least relying on the Su family themselves. After all, with the arrival of the brilliant era, any problem may be magnified in a short period of time.
The Su family doesn't have that much time.
The Shenmen Sect is extremely powerful and is a giant force that is on the rise. Ruo Haitang is the first person in the southwest to become a new king, adding another fire to the power of the Shenmen Sect.
!
The Su family naturally wants to rely on the Shenmen Sect to support the Su family.
"No wonder you tried your best to promote this matter," Su Ruoxun snorted, but he was not pessimistic, "Even as the elders said, my Su family is not at the end of the road yet. I believe that my sister and I can lead the Su family to become strong again! "
"This splendid world is a crisis for the Su family, but it is also an opportunity. Why should the elders look down on themselves!"
"Little doll, what do you know!" Su Qiu shouted.
Su Heng waved his hand, he sighed deeply and said, "Xun'er, I'm very happy that you have this ambition. If the younger generation of the Su family are like you and like your sister, then we don't have anything to worry about."
He paused and said seriously: "Originally, as you said, my Su family has its own pride. Do you think we are willing to cling to his Shenmen Sect? Do you think we are unable to distinguish between benefits and disadvantages and do not know the dangers of doing so?"
"It's just that our Su family is indeed almost at the end of its rope. You just said that the Su family is not at the end of the road yet, but I want to tell you that the Su family is on the way to the end of the road, and it is almost there!"
What!
Su Ruoxun's heart was shocked. She couldn't understand that the Su family was so powerful that even if there were signs of decline, it would not be a problem to survive for a thousand years!
How could it be possible that we were heading towards the end of the road?
"It's okay to tell you about this matter. Some time ago, the Supreme Elder failed in his attempt to break through and unfortunately died. You should know that he was the Optimus Prime of my Su family, protecting the entire Su family. Now, this root has collapsed !" Su Heng said sadly, his expression dark.
The atmosphere in the entire meeting hall became depressing.
Su Ruoxun's face suddenly turned pale.
The Su family has had no heirs for several generations. It was not until their generation that things improved, and she and Su Ruoxi appeared.
But the Su family is still prosperous because the Supreme Elder, the Optimist Pillar, is always alive.
And now, Optimus Prime has fallen, so Su Ruoxun knows what will happen next.
The sky is falling!
"This matter is still top secret and is not known to outsiders, but it cannot be kept secret for long, so the marriage between the Su family and the Shenmen Sect is inevitable!" Su Heng said in a deep voice.
Su Ruoxun's expression changed several times, she bit her lip and said nothing more.
She originally thought that the senior management of the Su family was short-sighted, but she didn't think so. Just because she failed to see the whole picture, she did not understand the real situation of the family.
Sacrificing women or men for the benefit of the family for marriage is not uncommon in small families, let alone such a large family as the Su family.
Fortunately, Su Ruoxi and Ruo Haitang proposed to get married only after they fell in love, and then they had an engagement.
Although it is also a marriage, at least you are marrying the person you want to marry instead of sacrificing the rest of your life.
"So the wedding date is set, but what about my sister? Why doesn't she show up or even want to see me?" Su Ruoxun frowned.
When she knows the current situation of her family, she will definitely not stop him anymore. There is no need to avoid her.
Hearing this, Su Heng and others looked at each other, and finally looked at the head of the family.
The current head of the Su family is also Su Ruoxi's father.
"Uncle, what happened?" Su Ruoxun asked in a deep voice.
The head of the Su family closed his eyes and then opened them again. He said, "There is indeed a problem between Ruoxi and Haitang. Now the Shenmen Sect wants to dissolve their marriage with us!"
"What!" Su Ruoxun exclaimed.
This was something she had never imagined.
She had been thinking about how to get Su Ruoxi and Ruo Haitang to break off their engagement, but she didn't expect that the Shenmen Sect would actually take the initiative.
"Why!" Su Ruoxun asked hurriedly.
It was too sudden.
After all, this is not a simple marriage between two families, but a marriage brought about by Su Ruoxi and Ruo Haitang's mutual love!
What happened to cause the
To such a result!
"You don't need to know what happened specifically, but the problem is indeed not with the Shenmen Sect." The head of the Su family sighed and clenched his fists.
"Uncle, what do you mean? Isn't the problem still with my sister?" Su Ruoxun shouted, glaring angrily.
"I've already said it, you don't need to know the details!" The head of the Su family shouted.
Su Ruoxun opened her mouth and turned her head to the side.
"Xun'er, I made it very clear to you just now. The Su family today cannot live without this marriage. Even if it turns into a political marriage, it must go on!" Su Heng said solemnly.
Su Ruoxun's expression changed, political marriage!
When two people who don't want to love come together, it's called a political marriage. What happened to Su Ruoxi!
She was extremely anxious.
"Then what does Shenmen Sect mean?" Su Ruoxun shouted.
"The elders of the Shenmen Sect have come to the clan a few days ago to discuss the marriage. Finally, they proposed a plan to continue the marriage between the two families," Su Heng said.
"What plan?" Su Ruoxun asked.
"You and Ruoxi will marry into the Shenmen Sect together and marry Ruo Haitang together!" Su Heng gritted his teeth and said it anyway.
"What!" Su Ruoxun thought she heard wrongly. She looked at Su Mang, and Su Mang's eyes dodged, but it was enough to prove that what Su Heng said was true!
Who does Shenmen Sect want to humiliate by putting forward such a condition!
If he is Haitang, what qualifications does he have to do this!
"Absolutely impossible!" Su Ruoxun exploded directly, she shouted angrily: "If Ruo Haitang can be where he is today, doesn't he know how much my sister has contributed to it? Why does he dare to put forward such a condition? What does he have? Qualified to do this!”
"Now that he has become the new king and has all the glory, he plans to abandon my sister and break the oath between them!"
"Such trash, he is not worthy of my sister at all. It would be best to cancel the marriage, so as to prevent my sister from being bullied in the future!"
"Is this your awakening? In Huadu, you recklessly interfered in the affairs of the Qunfang Pavilion. Now, do you plan to recklessly bring the family to the cliff?!" Su Qiu shouted.
Su Ruoxun was shocked, and then she realized that the elder's painful statement to her at the beginning was just to pave the way for the current incident.
"Xun'er, calm down. Do you think we don't feel angry when we hear such conditions? But just now you thought you knew that our Su family is on the verge of its end. We can't live without this marriage!" Su Heng shouted.
Su Ruoxun breathed violently and gritted her teeth. She wanted to kill Ruo Haitang now!
She must kill Ruo Haitang!
Su Ruoxi gave him everything. All the opportunities, all the fortunes, were piled on Ruo Haitang. She only wanted to make Ruo Haitang the king and make him the strongest one!
Su Ruoxun saw how many sacrifices there were!
And now, Ruo Haitang dares to betray Su Ruoxi!
This made Su Ruoxun extremely angry!
If Haitang tried to get his hands on her, she wouldn't be so angry, but if Haitang let Su Ruoxi down, she would never be able to bear it!
"If you want to marry me, you can, give him the body!" Su Ruoxun said coldly.
"this……"
"Xun'er, calm down first." Su Mang sighed. Wasn't he angry in his heart?
However, there are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned, and the Su family cannot be destroyed in their hands.
Su Ruoxun gritted her teeth, feeling endlessly disappointed. She took a deep breath and said, "Let me see my sister. I want to know what her attitude is!"
"If she agrees, I will agree. If she doesn't agree, I will kill Ruo Haitang!"
Su Ruoxun's attitude was extremely resolute and obviously unshakable.
"Ruoxi, she won't see you. You should go down and calm down now. If you really intend to see the family destroyed, then do it according to your own will."
, Master Su said bitterly.
Su Ruoxun opened her mouth, then turned and left.
At night, Lin Chen had already entered Su's house, using formal channels. Soon, he found Su Ruoxun.
Su Ruoxun had obviously been waiting for him.
"How's it going? Do you know where your sister is?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
Su Ruoxun stepped forward and said seriously: "How sure do you think we can kill Ruo Haitang?"
"Wha, what?" Lin Chen was stunned, what's going on!
"After the matter is completed, I will definitely bring you and my sister together. If it doesn't work out, I can also take over. How about it?" Su Ruoxun asked.
"..."
Lin Chen didn't know what happened, but it was obvious that something unexpected had happened.
He patted Su Ruoxun on the shoulder and said, "Calm down first."
Su Ruoxun sat slumped on the stool, her head lowered, her hair was messy, she was obviously in a state of mental stress.
"I'm sorry, I was sick and rushed to the doctor. Don't take what I just said seriously," Su Ruoxun said with a bitter smile.
What does this have to do with Lin Chen? Asking Lin Chen to accompany her to kill Ruo Haitang is not pushing Lin Chen into the fire pit?
It is completely harmful to Lin Chen!
How could she say such selfish and unwise words at ordinary times? Now she is obviously confused.
"It's okay, don't worry, there will be a solution to any problem. Think about it calmly and think about what to do first," Lin Chen said softly.
Su Ruoxun nodded, she took a few deep breaths, and finally regained some calmness.
"The first thing to do has not changed. We still have to find my sister first. As long as we find her, we can know everything," Su Ruoxun said.
"Well, I will go with you," Lin Chen said.
"Thank you," Su Ruoxun looked at Lin Chen gratefully.
So, they did not delay and went deep into the restricted area of the Su family's ancestral land that night.
With Su Ruoxun leading the way and Lin Chen's black dragon power, although it was not easy, they finally did it.
But they searched the ancestral land and did not find Su Ruoxi.
"It seems that we still have to go to Shenmen Sect!" Su Ruoxun said.
At that moment, the two quietly left the Su family and went to Shenmen Sect!
"Master, Xun'er's breath disappeared, she left the Su family!" Su Heng frowned, and didn't know when Su Ruoxun had such a strong hiding ability that she couldn't be tracked!
"It seems that she found a good helper, so let her ask clearly," the head of the Su family sighed.
As the head of the Su family, he was in a high position and had never sighed like this for days.
"If Xun'er doesn't agree, then the Shenmen Sect..."
"No, whether it's Ruoxi or Xun'er, they all have the family in their hearts, they won't abandon the family," the head of the Su family shook his head.
Then he said bitterly, "Ruoxi still doesn't know about this. She should know. Let Xun'er tell her."
"Humph, why didn't I see that Ruo Haitang was so cold before? With what Ruoxi has done for him, even if... he shouldn't be like this! Not to mention, he has to marry Xun'er at the same time. Isn't this humiliating Ruoxi!"
"That's what Shenmen Sect wants."
"Humph, I hope so!"
"Ruoxi, she's just too stupid..."
"She shouldn't continue to be stupid. She should tell us who it is and let us deal with it. It's also good to give Shenmen Sect an explanation, but Ruoxi refused to say anything, which gave Shenmen Sect more room to attack!"
"I want to know who it is too!" The head of the Su family cursed directly and couldn't bear it anymore.
Where did this bastard come from? How should this situation end!
In the end, the head of the Su family could only sigh, "They are the future of the Su family. They don't want to bear the burden of the Su family, but they have to bear it. Let them make their own choices."
